10 more sleeps + 1 lost passport

So...imagine the WORST thing that could happen 2 weeks before leaving on the trip of a lifetime?

Correct - I have lost my passport....! Probably the single worse thing that can happen to someone as OCD and organised as yours truely. However, there is a silver lining in this big effing black cloud of mine! Luckily, I have two passports...an Australian and a Brittish. Lucky for me, it was the latter that I have 'misplaced' somewhere in the house. Which means we can still leave the country and enjoy our trip hassle free. Fortunately our friend Sophie is meeting us in Bangkok for our three months in Nepal, and she is going to courier the thing over in her bag. Lucky!!

And before you say anything, yes I have looked everywhere and ripped the entire hosue apart trying to find it. Murphys law, it will more than likely show up the day before we fly out. We shall see....

In other Jess related news, we are pretty much all organised and just waiting to head off. I finished up work at Clive Peeters last friday (3rd time leaving, you think they would learn their lesson about employing such a free spirited Salesperson!), and Lucy & I had our farewell on Saturday night at Bazoo Bar in Croydon. Great night with some excellent company, including some random blind guy with his dog. Very strange.....

Lucy is busy painting my parents outdoor area as I write this, trying to get as much done in the next week as possible.

Thats about it for news this week...I shall update again next week with a super excited blog regarding leaving and plenty of exclimation marks....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (x300000000000)

4 weeks and 4 days to go...!

Ok...so we leave soon. Like really soon. Like...sooner than I realised! And now that stuff we needed to do that has been shelved on the 'Things we will do in August' list......yeah that list is pretty damn long now!!!

So in between booking places to stay and working out what else we have missed in our plans, I thought it would be a good idea to get the ball rolling with this blog again and give everyone an idea on where we are off to....

The plan thus far is:

September 3rd - September 7th: Darwin & Kakadu

September 7th: Overnight in Singapore

September 8th - 30th: Malaysian Borneo & Brunei

October 1st - 14th: Thailand

October 14th - January 30th(ish): Nepal (2 months trekking & 6 weeks volunteering)

February 1st - April 30th: Northern India

When we run out of Money: ENGLAND!

Soooo as you can imagine Lucy and I are pretty damn excited. As per usual, Sophie is coming to meet us for some of the trip (mainly Nepal) which will be ace.

Lots of stuff still to do but I will endeavour to update this in the coming weeks.....!
